Will try and stay again

I had an amazing time staying at the Hazel Lodge. If your looking to get away from the buzz of the city and explore mountains this is a great place. Cindy has done lots of quality work to the cabin and property to make your stay comfortable. Highly recommend, just don’t tell too many people….

Enjoyable and exactly as expected

Our group of 6 friends and family were passing through the are on a motorcycle trip and had the pleasure of enjoying this dry cabin. The location is remote so bring some food/snacks and drinks with you, but it is well setup and offers a unique mountain experience. Communication with Cindy was always quick and accurate which is appreciated. We really enjoyed the night and the small break from civilization. We would stay here again.

Anniversary 2019

we didn’t realize when we rented the property that it would be right on the highway across the street from a very busy Scenic trail. So it was way noisier than we expected. We also didn’t realize we weren’t allowed to have a campfire or we would not have rented the cabin. But overall the cabin was very nice and clean. The cabin had some amazing books and hiking trail maps which led us on an amazing hike up the mountain to see Lyle Lakes. The hike was so amazing and the views were incredible. It is definitely an all day event. We ended our night with the best pizza of all time in Kaslo. It was a great anniversary! I would stay again, We just used our camp chef burner as a fire to sit around in the evening.😊

Great location for a bachelor party.

We truly enjoyed the location of Hazel Hut stay. Day 1, we got 9 fellas up Mt. Brennan in about 8.5 hours return. On Day 2 we floated the first section of the Slocan River under blue sky. It's a great halfway point between Calgary and Vancouver. The hut was stocked with more than enough supplies and equipment to crank out big meals for a group. Bedding was comfortable. Being big into nature, our group loved the quiet location with one car passing by maybe every 20 minutes. The cedar trees and tiny creeks are truly charming, especially if you love the temperate forest feeling of the West Kootenay. It's a good idea to bring collapsible chairs and additional lighting for evening time. Thanks Cindy for a great Stay. Ian Calgary, AB
